Translation examples
The water lands, crashes into the pavement, spreads in countless directions, shatters like a succession of microscopic vases, gropes the ground, becomes elastic, picks up speed, circulates around the disorderly asphalt, bathes the network of streets, pumps its torrent, alters the beat of traffic, occupies avenues at widemouthed traffic lights, swamps the corners with their kiosks, their cats, and their mythologies, accumulates at the edge of curbs, and finally finds its course.
El agua aterriza, golpea el pavimento, adquiere innumerables direcciones, se rompe igual que una serie de jarrones microscópicos, tantea el suelo, se hace elástica, gana velocidad, circula por el desorden del asfalto, baña la red de calles, bombea su torrente, altera el pulso del tránsito, ocupa las avenidas frente a semáforos boquiabiertos, anega las esquinas con sus quioscos y sus gatos y sus mitologías, va acumulándose en los bordes de las veredas, encuentra al fin su cauce.
